I arrived at the terminal 40 mins earlier. The staff were nice to let me board an earlier van that leaving then. Saving me the wait! The ride was great. No excessive speed and comfortable seats. The driver was super kind by offering me a bottle of water when I asked him where can i buy one. Thai hospitality is unbeatable!

We had to sit in the row next to the driver. It’s a row with three seats including the driver. The middle seat is very uncomfortable, it’s high, so your head hits the roof (even for an average-height person), and there’s no legroom. Aside from that, the driver was very nice and helpful, and when I called the office, I received a quick and courteous response.
